<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Instead of a typical graduation speech, Denis Cooverman stands up in front of his classmates and professes his love for the most popular girl in school. Complications ensue, and Denis comes of age overnight.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Denis Cooverman wanted to say something really important in his high school graduation speech. So, in front of his 512 classmates and their 3,000 relatives, he announced: I love you, Beth Cooper.</p><p>It would have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so far out of her league he is barely even the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, who's in town on furlough from the United States Army. Complications ensue.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...a romp, a goof, a wedgie to the coming-of-age novel... the book is blessed release."--<em>Cleveland Plain Dealer</em><br><br>"...humorously addresses the agony and ecstasy of adolescence.
